[Nathan89]

What fatboy?..some of us have to actually pay for grad school, tbh..

For someone concerned about money you should probably avoid betting on Miami -6 when they are down by 7.

TBH - Indy isn't that great and the bet was offered before the game started..

Yes, but he took the bet with the same terms when the Heat were down by 7.

[Nathan89]

Pacers looking like now.

Miami giving a now

Wow Vogel you dumbass Anderson is hobbling all over he court and you call a timeoit so he can be removed rather than going at him

And then the play you draw up is a ing Stephenson 26-footer?

[DPG21920]

Hate betting on INDY, but, they are good on the road and every game should at least be close barring some fluky 3 point shooting either way. MIA defense locked INDY up in that 2nd Q though..

Miami giving a now

Still losing

[DPG21920]

Good point by Simmons; As soon as INDY when "Lance" offense, they started sucking badly.

[DPG21920]

Big 3rd Q for INDY. PG has to get something going and they have to move the ball quickly. West/Hibbert clearly have the best match ups and MIA struggles to defend the paint against them. This dribble, dribble perimeter offense for INDY does not work against the beast that is Lebron.

[Franklin]

refs will take the game over and escort the cHeat to a win. It's sad the Great bald Satan already needs refs to carry him when he's still under 30

[DPG21920]

My goodness Mark Jackson is a dummy

[KaiRMD1]

"Since when has the nba been fair" jvg with the truth bomb on national tv

[DPG21920]

Wade is just flat out getting buckets. MIA is giving INDY ball handlers, especially Hill the Manu treatment. They are high pressuring the ball handler like college players do because these guys can't handle the rock that well under true pressure.

[DPG21920]

That call

[ElNono]

I'm so glad we don't get Tony Brothers tomorrow

[DPG21920]

How bad is your offense that you miss wide open layups that lead to fast break dunks?

[Splits]

Jeezus this Pacer team has to be the worst conference finalist ever. They are horrible.

[Strange Love]

LOL nice non-call on James there.

[baseline bum]

I don't see why you are being so critical and mocking INDY. They won game one. They had a legit shot to win game 2. They are in the game in game 3. They are stride for stride with MIA and took them to the brink last year.

[Nathan89]

The Heat high intensity defense is in large part successful because the refs allow them to foul a lot.

All good defenses get away with that tbh..

The real problem if you are watching the game IMO is that you are seeing the real weakness of the Pacers on display. They are horribly mentally weak. You can tell as the game is progressing that the Heat are making a conscious effort to get into their head. Paul George is pouting on the bench. Lance Stephenson is getting blanketed by Lebron and he's throwing a hissy fit on the court. David West is pissed and acting out. Hibbert isn't giving enough effort. That's why they can't beat the Heat. When it gets tough the Pacers wilt EVERY TIME. That's why this team really has no chance.
